Omega Driver Support?

Hey Everyone.

uhm.. how to say.. i have a small problem with the Omega Drivers for my Gforce 8800GT, and the Omegadrivers.net site shoewed the link to this forum .. so its right to ask here, i hope

well okay, i just post my problem.. please dont kill me, if it is not the right subforum.

well as i said, i have an gforce 8800GT.
with every single driver from nvidia, i get the well known "infinite loop nv4_disp.dll" bluescreen.

its not really reconstructable, it happens randomly, but its a fact that i cant play any game, that needs some gfx power for long.

then i tried the omega drivers... well i dont know if they fixed the problem, but yesterday morning i had with the nvidia dfrivers about 5 bluescreens in 30 minutes, while playing COD5 - after changing them to Omega, not even a gamecrash after hours of play, everything just fine

thats the reason why i wanna keep them, im really happy that i finally found something, that fixes my problems.

now theres another problem - im an active CounterStrike 1.6 Player, and i play the game usually with the 100hz frequency at 800x600 - no problem, the monitor can 100% show 100hz on 800x600, so there is no possibility that the monitor is the problem.

my desktop resolution is 1152x864, and if i go to the monitor settings with the omega drivers, it says the max. is 170hz (sure, it wont work, but thats what the list shows.)

on 800x600 he shows max. 85hz - how is that possible?

this problem prevents my game from running at 100hz @ 800x600, i also tried refreshforce, but after setting the 100hz on 800x600, its not possible to use this resolution anywhere

anyone there that knows why this happens, and perhaps how to fix it?

sorry for my really bad english^^

kind regards, PatchOne
